Kids Privacy
Kids' Privacy on Our Site
The RESD Kids Korner does not ask for or collect personal, individually-identifiable information, like names and addresses, from kids or other users. We do use software that tracks the number of visitors to the site, but this software never identifies who you are. Kids.gov does not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to a user (for example, to answer a question). If you choose to provide us with personal information-like filling out our Contact Us form with an e-mail address and submitting it to us through our website-we will use that information to respond to your message. Kids.gov does not create individual profiles from the information provided or distribute the information to other organizations.
Message to Children - Be Careful on the Web
The RESD Kids Korner is a gateway. This means when you click on a link, you will leave our site. The kids' sites we link to are from both government agencies and non-government ones. Government sites have to follow special rules for their kids' sites, but non-government sites do not have to follow the same rules. When you're exploring the RESD Kids' Korner, you may click on a site that will ask you for personal information, like your name, address, phone number, or email address. Before you give any information, show your parent or some other responsible adult what you are doing. Remember be safety smart!
Message to Parents, Guardians, and Educators
The RESD Kids Korner is a gateway that takes your children to other sites. The links are from other government sites, but we do link to commercial and other non-government sites. Although many of the sites we link to must adhere to Federal rules established to protect children's privacy, please understand that not all sites have to comply with these rules. While we have selected sites that we believe offer good, reliable information, we are not responsible for the content provided. Nor are we responsible for their adherence to Federal rules to protect children's privacy. It is important that you monitor your children's online communication to ensure that they do not provide personally identifiable information to websites that you feel are unacceptable. Tell your children to ask you or another adult to look at what they are doing first if they wish to give their name, address, phone number, or email address.
